Toph seems to be an expert at hurting people as badly as possible without actually injuring them. It's terrifying to think sometimes how regularly she hits people with the same attack that maybe killed Jet.

This episode really felt like two or more episodes crammed into one. Mostly this resulted in an alright but very bland setup episode, but I think they really robbed Korra's confrontation with Zaheer of all power or interest. There have been good things about this season, but man the pacing has just been awful.

On the plus side YEAH WE'RE GONNA GET A LIN THROWDOWN SHOWDOWN AHA YES

Yeah it was basically half a season's build up, with multiple false starts on a recovery and then everything boils down to thirty seconds that basically go "Hi, asshole. You don't scare me." "Yes I do. BOOGA BOOGA." "Yaaaa!" "Oh but it's okay, I'm chill now." "You are? Bullshit." "No really, I am and also I will add a throwaway line about us having common cause." "Sure what have I got to lose." TIME PARADOX SPIRIT WORLD "Oh okay that worked, cool.".

THAT was a conversation that could have taken a full episode, if done right.

So far I feel like Korra had way higher potential and reached higher spots in places but was way more inconsistent in quality and blew a ton of opportunities. Overall I'd maybe rate them the same, barring an amazing or catastrophic series finale.

EDIT: I'm really wondering how or if my opinion of the fourth season might change if I sat and watched it all in one go (after it's finished, I mean).
